Interchangeables are all about the join between the tips and the cable. There’s nothing worse than a tip that won’t screw on tightly and smoothly.

The Chiaogoo Twist Shortie Interchangeable Needle Sets have been engineered with this detail and many more in mind:

The high-grade stainless steel tips connect securely with a completely smooth transition.

The needles are precise without being uncomfortably sharp.

The red twist cables have a steel core so they have no memory. Twist them and they’ll always go back to their original straight shape.

The set is specifically designed for small circumference knitting (think socks, sleeves etc..)

The set contains both 5cm & 8cm tips allowing knitters to make short circulars 23cm – 36cm long.

This SHORTIES Set includes:

• 12 different sets of stainless steel lace tips in sizes 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3 and 3.25mm
• A tip sleeve with labeled pockets and snap closure that securely holds all tips
• Three different mini-diameter cable lengths (one each length) –  13cm, 15cm & 30cm
• End stoppers, stitch markers, a mini needle gauge and tightening keys
• A compact, red nylon, zippered case approximately 12cm x 10cm

Features include:
• Solid, surgical stainless steel tips.
• Two tightening holes for a secure connection.
• All tips have the MINI diameter connection.
• Same mini-diameter flexible, memory-free red cables used in the mini sets.
• Nine different cable/tip combinations allowing you to make  23cm – 36cm circulars.

Please Note: This new system of Twist interchangeables is slightly different where tip sizes up to  3.25mm use the mini diameter join. Tip sizes 3.5mm plus have the small [S] diameter join.

Note: ChiaoGoo Shortie tip sizes 1.5mm-3.25mm will also attach to the regular ChiaoGoo Mini Twist cables.
